So what about such orbital checkers? Unpredictable path? No such checker flies in minefield above warp 5. It takes minefields + 50 resource destroyer at each orbit to drop them all down soon enough.

How small a map you are talking about? Last time i played tiny packed with 8 players then most guys had most tech around 16 by 2460 despite rather bloody DD/cruiser war going on (most ppl against JOAT + SD in centre). That means eagle eye or elephant scanners and well-shielded jugger BB-s.

At such map HE-s cannot build cloaked jihad morphs before 2450. Nubs arent needed to turn any morph obsolete. Half cheaper jugger cruiser can do it well enough. Your morph can absorb 3-5 juggers without ever returning fire so its quite obsolete stuff. 10 years and they are worth scrapping for iron at any map.

I would build only about 10-20 of such galleons, depending on map size and interest from NAS allies. Mostly for spying of course, but since they are built in same tight 10 year timeframe as your morphs they can catch few before going to their spying mission. It will cost me about 3.5-7k. It can detect 95% cloaked ship at 13ly.

13ly may sound little but about 20 can cover 100x100 ly territory if needed. Your morphes cannot take mine hits and so theres less needed and quite easy to catch them out. Such galleons are must against 91% cloaked SD super minelayers btw.
